Sporgery

Sporgery is the disruptive act of posting a flood of articles to a Usenet
newsgroup, with the article headers falsified so that they appear to have
been posted by others. The word is a portmanteau of spam and forgery, coined
by Tilman Hausherr.

Sporgery resembles crapflooding, which is also intended to disrupt a forum.
However, sporgery is not merely disruptive but also deceptive or
libellous -- it involves falsifying objectionable posts so they appear to
come from newsgroup regulars. The purpose is not merely to jam the forum,
but also to blacken the reputations of its regular users by falsely signing
their names to offensive posts

Interesting!

It's best not to respond to them in _any_ way. Their game is
that any response, no matter what it is, counts as a "point".

Thank you for this exlanation , DA , i hope nobody here believes any
of us could post this Sociopathic posts...
What i don`t get is what this person [s] , gain from this ?
People here know each other enough to know , we would never do
it....So the danger is only in it being shown on international forums
,,,, As we see Cahnging posts doesn`t help , because they steal it as
well ,,,,
it is sad , but the world is Full with cowards like this who do their
harm from a hidden place . Poor childish , infantile behaviour.

Da , i am not sure about the age , but whoever it is sure shows
infantile behaviour,.,,, Mature , Well ballanced people would never do
it . I pity that person[s] , they are going to have a very poor sad
life .
